With a significant level of development planned near the interchange, the study will present capacity improvements that will accommodate projected traffic volumes. With the planned extension of SH 289, located west of the North Texas Regional Airport/Perrin Field, the study will also evaluate potential FM 691 alignment extensions. The input of Texoma Council of Governments (TexomaCOG), Cities of Denison and Sherman officials, TxDOT, Grayson County officials and the general public was extremely important to the development of the specific goals of this study. Through meetings with these stakeholders, the following study goals for the project were determined. Improve mobility at the US 75/FM 691 interchange by developing an implementation plan with the addition of the Texoma Medical Center, the hotel/conference center, proposed Town Center and ancillary development; Improve east-west mobility by developing an implementation plan for the FM 691 corridor with the extension of FM 691 to future SH 289; Minimize environmental and social impacts; and, Maximize future opportunity for development. The Study Team recommended the short and long-term needs for the road, helped the public officials and local community identify the desired “look and feel” of the facility and the right-of- way, and develop a general approach to access management that will achieve the safety, operational efficiency, and capacity of FM 691 that can be implemented through a partnership of Grayson County, TxDOT, the Cities of Sherman and Denison, and the Grayson County Regional Mobility Authority. A rural four-lane roadway with the ability to expand to six-lanes in the future is recommended for the section of FM 691 between the future SH 289 extension and FM 131/Loy Lake Road. An expandable four-lane to six-lane urban roadway section is recommended between FM 131/Loy Lake Road and SH 91. The rural roadway section will require between 140 and 160 feet of right-of-way while the urban roadway section would be able to fit within a right-of-way width of approximately 120 feet. As part of the long-term solutions to the US 75/FM 691 interchange, three conceptual ramping configurations along US 75 are presented. The ramping solutions build on the planned ultimate ramping scheme south of FM 691 that has been developed conceptually by TxDOT. While these potential ramping solutions are developed, additional detail will need to be gathered and analyzed prior to determining a final recommendation. The success of implementing the recommended solutions is dependent on the coordination between a variety of entities. Understanding that funding is a significant component in the development and construction of these recommendations, a phased approach of the actions that need to be taken in order to provide a successful transportation network along this corridor is developed. A summary of this phasing plan is provided in Table 1. FM 691 Corridor Study iii Table 1 Summary of Phased Recommendations FM 691 Corridor Study iv 1.0 Introduction Project Description FM 691 is an east-west Farm-to-Market (FM) route that serves central Grayson County from the North Texas Regional Airport/Perrin Field on the west to SH 91 (Texoma Parkway) on the east (See Figure 1). Serving the City of Sherman to the south and Denison to the north, it is the nominal city limit line where the two major urban areas of Grayson County share a boundary. The two-lane, rural section roadway begins at the intersection with FM 1417 and, proceeding eastward, crosses Preston Road (FM 131 to the south), Loy Lake Road (FM 131 to the north), US 75, Theresa Drive, and terminates at SH 91 on the east, for a total designated route of 5.3 miles. There are several growth factors that make the FM 691 Corridor a key facility in the future of Grayson County and the Cities of Sherman and Denison. Development of the property at US 75/FM 691 includes the Texoma Medical Center on the northeast quadrant and a hotel/ conference center along with retail to open in 2010. A proposed Town Center development which could include restaurants and retail is forecasted to open in 2015. This is in addition to the Cigna Operations Center that opened in 2007 and other office and commercial sites on FM 691 and Pool Road. Additional residential development located west of the proposed Town Center as well as near Theresa Drive are potential developments that were incorporated into the study. The west end of FM 691 is anchored by the North Texas Regional Airport/Perrin Field. This facility encompasses nearly 1,400 acres of property and currently has 34 businesses, employing more than 1,000 workers. More than 400 acres are suitable for aviation and industrial development including heavy aircraft maintenance, flight operations, aviation and industrial manufacturing and intermodal (air/rail/truck) cargo facilities. The site also includes several facilities of the Grayson County College. The College’s main campus is located just over a mile to the east of the North Texas Regional Airport on FM 691. The extension of State Highway 289 will affect development in the area and the future requirements for FM 691. From its current terminus at SH 56, SH 289 is being extended to FM 120 in Pottsboro. It will be adjacent to and west of the Airport. It will provide ready access to more than 160-acres of property on the west side of the Airport for intermodal, aviation and industrial development. These factors have prompted the TexomaCOG to initiate the FM 691 Corridor Study. These aspects and others identified by the Study Team will be analyzed from an engineering, environmental and traffic evaluation of the corridor alternatives. Through the study process, the Study Team met with an identified Technical Steering Committee comprised of local City and State officials, the Transportation Policy Board as well as the general public. FM 691 Corridor Study 1 Figure 1 FM 691 Corridor Study Area FM 691 Corridor Study 2 Need and Purpose Through a collaboration of the Technical Steering Committee, Transportation Policy Board, Study Team, and general public, a study need and purpose statement was developed. The purpose of this study is to improve mobility for the US

  • Proposal to Encode Some Outstanding Early Cyrillic Characters in Unicode
    ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2 WG2 N3974 Date: 2011-02-25 PONOMAR PROJECT Proposal to Encode Some Outstanding Early Cyrillic Characters in Unicode n3974 Yuri Shardt, Nikita Simmons, Aleksandr Andreev n3974 1 In old, Slavic documents that come from Eastern Europe in the centuries between A.D. 1400 and 1700, it is possible to come across various unusual characters, whose forms have not yet entered the Unicode repertoire. As well, these symbols can occasionally be found in more resent publications by those Orthodox Christians (Old Believers) that do not accept the typographic changes introduced by Patriarch Nikon in the mid-1600s. The exact forms of these symbols often vary between different places and times. In the interest of creating a standard for faithfully typesetting Slavonic manuscripts, there is a need to include these symbols in Unicode. Since these symbols are often found in Slavonic Church books, these symbols will be encoded in the “Extended Cyrillic Block B” of the Unicode standard. Characters Table 1 presents a summary of the proposed characters for encoding in Unicode: Double O and Crossed O, which are found in many early Slavonic manuscripts. The double o is used in the words двое (two), обо (both), обанадесять (twelve), and двоюнадесять (twelve), where the bold letters denote the usual placement of the proposed double o. This letter would complement the other forms of o that are already present in the Unicode standard, including the monocular o, the binocular o, the double monocular o, and the multiocular o. However, unlike the ocular o’s, which are primarily used in different words denoting eye, the double o is used in words that denote two.

  • Redefining Nuclear Security in an Advanced Nuclear Age—Can the U.S
    REPORT Published July 24, 2018 • 13 minute read Redefining Nuclear Security in an Advanced Nuclear Age—Can the U.S. Regain Security Leadership? Mykael Goodsell-SooTho Suzanne Hobbs Baker Clean Energy Fellow, 2017-2018 Former Visiting Fellow for Nuclear Security @mykael_sootho @SuzyHobbsBaker The United States is losing its leadership role in the global civilian nuclear marketplace. As a result, its inuence on nuclear security is at risk even as US companies are developing a number of innovative reactors that could disrupt the entire nuclear market. Could these advanced reactors be America’s ticket to reclaiming a portion of the lost market share? And if so, how can they also be used to strengthen global nuclear security? Third Way reached out to over 25 experts across disciplines including academic researchers, reactor developers, security and technical experts from NGOs and national labs, and former policymakers to get their take on these issues. After a series of candid, o-the-record conversations, here’s what we learned: 1. More eective coordination between US industry and security leaders could accelerate advanced nuclear deployment; 2. Security considerations need to be “baked-in” to advanced reactors at the design phase; 3. US advanced reactors need to win on cost in order to impact security; 4. Internationally, the United States needs to engage the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to develop global security guidelines and best-practices for advanced reactors; and 5. Domestically, the United States must dedicate signicant attention and resources to a long- term commercialization and deployment strategy for advanced nuclear technology. Before we get into each of these in detail, let’s recap where the United States currently stands in the international nuclear pecking order and how this came to be.
